Well, we’re off to the lake to spend a week suntanning, swimming, laughing, eating, fishing and reading. Been for my massage. Got my toes painted (‘Catherine of Grape’…giggling). Purchased 65 bags of chips to everyone’s specifications. More treats than we’ll ever need. In fact, we don’t need to bring actual food for lunches because likely no one will be hungry : ) I have about 8 books packed, though I’ll probably only get through about 2. I broke down and bought “Twilight” by Stephanie Meyer. Peer pressure if you will. I saw people talking about it and was like “what’s all the hype about?” and bought it. I’ve spent about $50 on decorating and design magazines which in turn will add up to thousands of dollars worth of brilliant ideas for us to incorporate in a future house : )
All I need is my bathing suit and sunscreen and I’m GOOD TO GO!!! Too bad that’s not all we are taking. My poor little Saturn is going to be exploding at the seams and we’ll have to send a bunch of stuff in my parents’ truck. But I refuse to get a van! Why? Who knows. Just something to be stubborn about.
And I haven’t actually started packing, just piling. So why am I sitting here blogging when I should be getting ready (should have started 2 days ago)? I’m the procrastinator of the century. Why do now what I can do at midnight? Hee, hee.
Well, happy week bloggy friends. Don’t forget about me.
P.s. Here are a couple pictures I took of the “lake” our house backs onto. I’ve been just LOVING Picnik and playing with every picture I take. And ya’ll made me feel so good after I shared the last pictures that I’m being brave. I just thought these turned out nice…

Hello there!
Have a wonderful time. Gosh it sounds like a perfect week away but don’t get too much sun – it’s bad for you in case you didn’t already hear! hee hee
I thought I was the world’s number one procrastinator.
Chips are my absolutely favorite junk food. And, btw, I still want to sample those ketchup flavoured ones so when I come for a visit I’m hoping you have a bag ready for me?

I forgot to say. Those pictures are lovely and worthy of some framing perhaps. I, too, love picnik. It’s a little gem, and free!
That love Thursday shot you posted a while back was awesome. I immediately sighed.

Love the pics! (Especially the third one with the rocks!)
Let me know how the Stephanie Meyer book turns out. I almost bought it the other day after the cashier in Home Depot told me about it, but then I backed off. If you think it’s good, I’ll go back and get it.
Have fun at the lake!

you should get these pics developed and make “photo cards” and sell them on etsy or something. some people LOVE this kind of thing… if i could take better pics, i would try to do it myself… BUT… i always take on too many projects anyway!!!

Wow, I found another one like me. We are so much alike it’s kinda crazy.
Packing for trips usualy start five day’s later then I should and two minutes before we go.
Thank goodness I don’t forget to much. My husband always thinks that I do such a great job. “If only he knew” lol…
